ShWiM in action.
Although this is between two terminals on the same computer, this works the same between any two computers (behind NATs, whatever).

@adamshostack I will predict it once again: there will be real-time auctions between self-driving cars based on insurance, "trolley problem" style.

Very excited about some new ANSI goodness coming in the next https://github.com/meejah/fowl release (along with some "real" enhancements and bug-fixes).

I learned way too much about terminal colours and escape sequences and blogged about it (for future-meejah when I forget again)

@virtuous_sloth Yes!
Because usually past-me is like, "I'll remember all this with one arcane comment, it'll be fine!"

For many years, activists and the annoying free software people in your area have warned that the power of app stores enables turnkey censorship. And of course there have been many examples of this, especially with repressive non-US governments getting apps removed from app stores.

This is why […]

@hynek @glyph too bad. Seems like an attractive and useful idea. Hopefully someone picks up maintainership

I have finally used https://sequoia-pgp.org/ for something real and am not likely to be going back to GnuPG ever again (except perhaps to export things).

sq is great. The Rust APIs and Python bindings are also great.

1. the project is dead. no commits for 11 months: https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer

2. this doesn't have ~anything to do with the problem domain of tox? tox mostly runs test jobs, to the extent that it builds anything it's just delegating to a pep 517 backend. granted I didn't […]

@glyph yeah, I don't know _why_ you're running Tox, but for me it's to test the myriad of configurations my Python might run in -- it seems that PyOxidizer (or at least something like it) drastically reduces that set to approximately 1: whatever _you_ decide to build/bundle it with.

I've never […]

@glyph Have you considered PyOxidize yet?
(I haven't personally used it but it sounds great for "release hard-to-build Python things", as long as you can express that in Rust -- and the GTK support in Rust is great AFAICT).

@ben The "Thursday night ride" I got to attend when I was there for PyCon US was amazing (IIRC the UniPiper was there / helped lead it, but on a 36" one and sans flaming bag-pipes)

Canada Post is a service, not a consumer product. The idea that it operates at a "loss" is stupid. It's like saying schools operate at a loss; hospitals operate at a loss; roads operate at a loss; sewers operates at a loss.

We pay for public services collectively, because they are simply needed […]
